The forces of both sides overcame the difficulties of weather (rain) and difficult terrain to check the status of border markers, clear bushes to clear the view and clean up around the border marker area, and exchange contents related to border protection work... Both sides have properly implemented the principles, protocols, and procedures in foreign affairs activities. As a result, the border markings have not been moved, and the border markers are guaranteed to be intact and safe.
